check should, imo, be on the server side. Nothing's stopping the user from telnetting to port 25 and try to send the mail with whatever envelope he wants anyway.It's always been that way. I think that we should retain the original nmh capability, just change the default build configuration.Speaking of ports, wny way to use other ports than 25? I'm occationally sitting behind an intricate mess^Dh of ssh tunnels...It looks like it's hard-coded ("smtp") in mts/smtp/smtp.c.
With more and more ISPs blocking outbound 25, should we add code to try to use port 587 (submission) first, and fallback to 25?
